Exhibition:
There’s Nuffin Like a Puffin!
Celebrate 70 years of Puffin books with an exhibition featuring a whole host of exciting authors and illustrators.
The Nuffin Like A Puffin exhibition also includes the Seven Stories’ Kaye Webb collection, the inspirational editor of Puffin books, who not only created the Puffin Post, but did much to raise the profile of children’s literature as a whole.
The exhibition includes classic titles such as The Borrowers by Mary Norton and Stig of the Dump by Clive King, as well as more recent titles including Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer, Cathy Cassidy’s Lucky Star, Each Peach Pear Plum by Janet and Allen Ahlberg and Ed Vere’s Mr Big.
